Avalanche Summary

You can trigger a small but potentially dangerous avalanche on wind-drifted slopes. The most dangerous slopes face northwest through east to southeast near and above treeline but pay attention to any slopes steeper than about 35 degrees that show evidence of drifting. Identify and avoid these areas of concern to reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche. You can identify slopes by the rounded, wave-like appearance on the snow surface and the hard, hollow feeling when traveling across them.
